High-End Memory Prices - Week of April 2, 2007

Single Module DDR

The following chart outlines prices on name-brand, single module DDR prices. We've taken a cross-section of the top name brands (as voted by Sharky readers), and when possible, used the highest-end module possible. In the case of Corsair, this translates into "LL" or Low Latency, while Kingston HyperX, Mushkin "Level 2" (L2), and OCZ Enhanced Latency "EL" modules are also featured. Not all DDR clock speeds are available at these enhanced memory formats, and some of our PC4000 and up listings naturally use more standard timings and brand names. Tracked DDR is in the PC2700 to PC5000 range, but each vendor may have a different "high-end" speed, and might not offer all of the clock speed permutations.

Throughout 2007, the price of single-module DDR has continued to drop, and clawed back some of the price increases from late-2006. March was not as kind, and the price cuts have really leveled off, with our previous update displaying a total chart decrease of only $10. This week is a bit better, and has a couple of double-digit price drops, including Corsair XMS PC3200 C2 PRO 1-GB (-$20), and Corsair XMS PC3200 PRO 1-GB (-$17). Other than these two Corsair modules, there was not a lot of downward activity, but thankfully, the largest price increase was only $4. This helped build up some momentum, and the single-module DDR chart posted an aggregate drop of $55.
